Snug as a bug in a rug

An artists’ book by
Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison

Our artists’ book, Snug as a bug in a rug, was launched at Craft Victoria in Flinders Lane, alongside 101 ways to get to your favoured destination.

Snug as a bug in a rug documents the three months of winter, 2001. All editions feature hand knitted sections of unfinished jumpers from the 70s by Elaine Haby. An assortment of bright colours and mixed up patterns which have been lovingly assembled through crochet and cleverness by Louise Weaver (in 2001) into small pouches fit for a book.

This pouch in all its lurid bright brilliance is the ideal woolly jumper for a chilly day, and the denim cover of the book housed inside is reminiscent of those most comfy of jeans worn en route to the local bakery.

We have edition number 1 of 10 available (can you believe it?) and at the ready. This artists’ book is an edition of ten with no artists’ proof created.
